cʜᴀʟᴅᴇᴀ pʜᴀɴᴛᴀꜱᴍ 3 [OPEN POST]

Premise

Okeanos has been conquered a long while ago and yet there is yet ANOTHER observed irregularity in the middle of the ocean. The waters are eerily calm, the sky is clear with only a few white clouds dotting the sky. There is no land in sight. What is there instead, but a titan of a cruise ship full of luxuries such as fully furnished bedrooms, an indoor waterpark, an equipped gym for exercise and sports, an industrial kitchen with a stocked cabinet of food supplies, a ballroom, a mini-golf course, bowling... And more!

The Servants of Chaldea aren't slackers by any means, but a little more fun can't hurt, right? But maybe this time around, things won't be as straightforward as it seems...

"Chaldea Phantasm" is an open sandbox RP post for players to roleplay in the setting based on the mobile game, Fate Grand Order and the Fate franchise. You can play out scenarios between Master and Servant(s), Servants fighting each other, monsters, material/event grinding, AUs, etc.

This post will have actual prompts that can be used at your leisure! Otherwise, feel free to write up your own scenario.

A) Waku Waku Splash!

A certain child king has brought it upon himself to deck out the indoor swimming pool with his own personal touches so everyone can have an exciting and enjoyable experience. There's a current pool, a wave pool, a HUGE water slide, and even pools for diving and racing. You know what this means! Swimsuits! There are rules in place to keep the peace and one of them is of particular note.

"Troublemakers will be banned from Waku Waku if they are caught misbehaving, disturbing and/or be harassing our female guests. The following guests have been banned:"

Archer (Gilgamesh - Adult)
Archer (David)
Saber (Gawain)
Saber (Fergus mac Róic)
Lancer (Fionn mac Cumhaill)
Lancer (Cu Chulainn)
Lancer (Leonidas)
Berserker (Spartacus)
Caster (Merlin)
Caster (Mozart)
Rider (Blackbeard)

"Thank you and have a nice day. If you have questions for the management and want to protest your ban please talk to Heracles."

Honestly, it really is up to you whether you take this ban list seriously or not...

B) Fate/Grand Blue

This is your more general SOL prompt. Have a walk around the beautiful cruise ship. Enjoy the blue sky! Maybe do some fishing. Raid the fridge or wait until the Kitchen Moms of Chaldea create a fantastic spread for everyone. Reenact that scene from the Titanic (except the boat sinking part). There's a karaoke machine in one of the lounges that might be fun to do!

C) A Study in Ocean Blue

SPECIAL EVENT

A body has been found in the ballroom! The poor deceased man looks as if he was the captain of the ship. There may be several clues littered around the ballroom and into the captain's quarters that may lead to an answer! Or not? Make sure the body doesn't disappear and don't run into ghosts on the bottom floors of the ship if you try to solve this mystery!

(For this prompt, feel free to write the mystery any way you want! Comedy option is that the body disappears, serious option, it was ghosts.)

E) Fatal Battle!?

Something sinister and monstrous this way comes.

The more keen-eyed and alert Servants may have noticed a presence that has marked this oceanic singularity as a threat and it comes in the form of a titanic Water Dragon. The cruise ship trembles as the beast approaches, angry that its territory has been invaded. Hopefully, our more skilled Riders will take the wheel and navigate around it safely, but it's up to you to subdue the dragon ~~and try not to get swallowed whole, there's a whole other level inside and maybe valuable mats and a Grail!?~~.

Good luck with your Boss Battle!

Basic Guidlines

➢ In the subject line or in your opening thread, please say if you're opting in or out for spoilers!

➢ If you have a fanmade Servant, please try to link to information or have a quick summary of your character! Likewise with cross-canon characters with a Fate/AU.

➢ Be kind and courteous to one another about spoilers, please!

➢ If stuff gets mildly NSFW or something just mark your threads and we'll be good to go!

➢ A high seas adventure...?

[ Any trace of Yan Qing is now gone. A familiar servant in red has now taken his place. In other words, the Archer class is really made up of archers and he's one of them now. Bye! ]

Then I apologize from the bottom of my heart, o Goddess of Beauty, War and Bounty.

[ It sounds so much better in Emiya's deep tone. But is it just as convincing? Probably not. ]

[ FUCK ]

[...What a visceral reaction! Ishtar has to reel herself in. Why is it that such a face gives her pause? Is it someone that her vessel knew? Yes, it must be. The wrath of the goddess is no more. Instead her cheeks are pink and her eyes avert themselves to avoid looking at the countenance that makes her react like that.]

So you know my status? Well then, I suppose I could let you off this once. With a warning.

[ That was unexpectedly cute. What the hell? Why can't she be like this all the time? Who is this Emiya, anyway? ...It doesn't matter. If anything, this body gives Yan Qing a mouthpiece for whatever he can't say himself. Let's just hope Yan Qing knows how play him. ]

Hoh? It's a warning I'll keep in mind. But what are you doing, Ishtar? Sulking in a corner isn't your style.

[Even if he doesn't know how to play Emiya, Ishtar is... Stubborn. She's too proud to recognize and acknowledge the past life of the body she inhabits unless it benefits her. Like chasing Emiya around to get free food or tea out of it.]

I'm still getting used to this new existence.

[Sharing never was her strong suit and now she has to do it every day. Some Servants look at her and don't see her. They see that girl. Which she gets a laugh out of, sure, but still...

With a sigh she finds herself settling next to him in the air as if she were stretched out on a hammock.]

["Then get used to it!"

...is what he'd tell her under normal circumstances, but he can't say the feeling's foreign to him. He sits up, one foot on the pool chair and the other on the ground. When you try to understand someone, you try to meet their level.]

What, you've never had comrades before?

[He believes it. For some reason, Emiya's memories tell him as much, too.]

Of course not. I've never had need of them.

[Rin: the genius magus, and Ishtar: the Queen of Heaven. Why would either of them need "comrades"? Allies, perhaps. Chess pieces, sidekicks, underlings — whatever you may want to call them — maybe. Friends? Comrades? Not so much. Okay maybe, but they'd deny it until they were blue in the face.

Both the girls decided a very lonely life. Ishtar never had any peers she could call friends because she was always stealing territory and artifacts from other gods. Rin distanced herself from normal humans to be a magus, and among magi there is little friendship.

In any case both of them are idiots.]

[ Yan Qing doesn't gets too close, never stays too long, but even as he tells himself that bridges are meant to be burned, he knows that he can't ignore the generosity of his master and the convenience of Chaldea. ... Okay, maybe their kindness, too. That's how it was in Liangshan Marsh: they didn't always get along but despite their differences, they covered for each other's weaknesses, united in one goal. They knew they couldn't live alone.

Ugh. Now she's gotten him sentimental.

He switches back, tan skin now fair and covered in dragons and peonies. His words aren't as pretty. ]

That's the saddest thing I've heard in my life, oi.

[ He's not nice but, well... he's not heartless. He takes his sunglasses off his head and grins as he puts them on her. ]

Well, stop pouting. Getting a timeout sucks, but I'm sure there's something fun we can do without making another tsunami!

[O-oh! The sunglasses surprise her, but she's immediately pleased by them. They hide her unsettling red eyes and the they're large enough to hide the tops of her cheeks should she end up blushing. How convenient! Yes, she likes these.

Ishtar smiles, and adjusts the tinted glasses after recovering from her momentary shock.]

I suppose I could join you in whatever activity you'd like. With these glasses as tribute, consider your reward the company of this goddess. Let us find some fun.

[A not so small declaration that the sunglasses are hers now. You can't have them back.]

So I'm not getting them back!? Well, whatever.

[ Ishtar isn't the company he expected to keep, but if she's not going to be pouty or gloomy here or anywhere, that's a good thing. He'll just think of it as doing a favor for their Master. Though reining Li Kui in is probably easier than keeping a goddess in check...

OH WELL! THIS IS FINE!!

Bouncing back from his loss, he leaps to his feet and announces, ]

Alright! You're just in luck, Ishtar. I, Yan Qing, the Skillful Star, have gathered valuable information that may prove useful to our cause!

[Smiling brighter, Ishtar quickly becomes full of laughter. As if she wasn't even sulking hardcore five minutes ago. She rights herself in the air, and makes a grand sweeping motion with her arms as a way to give him the lead.]

If that's the case, lead on! Your goddess shall accompany you wherever you may wander.

[At first she wanted to turn this guy into dust, but now she seems to be having fun. She's definitely a capricious soul.]

[ Man, he's just glad he's not dying today. He might not be as talented a diplomat as Ritsuka, but ah, he's so good at this! They should start paying him in grails at this rate.

Once they're out of the indoor pool, he huddles closer to whisper in her ear, game face on. ]

Okay. Don't tell anyone I told you, but I saw Emiya and Tamamo Cat baking some cookies in the kitchen. Chocolate chip. All the kids are in the pool now... If we get there in ten minutes, we can get the first batch before anyone else.

[That's his idea of a fun time? Seriously? Did she promise her time to a ten year old? Ah, but she did promise. With the glasses as payment she can't refuse...

Or maybe she's using the glasses as an excuse to tag along and be pleasant. Ishtar is thankful he can't see her roll her eyes behind the glasses, but she nods.]

If that's what you'd like, then let us retrieve them while they're still soft and fresh. A goddess and her companion deserve the best.

[She'd be more excited about this, but... him having spooked her with Emiya's face earlier makes her a little on edge over the notion of possibly seeing him again.]

[ Honestly, Yan Qing thought he was babysitting... He's only adjusting to her needs? He was about to race her, too, but the tone of her voice is enough to clue him in. ]

What's wrong now? I thought kids liked food.

You view me as a child?

[Her tone goes sour real quick.]

[ rAISES HIS HANDS UP ]

Woah, easy, easy! I get it. You're an adult. Let's do adult things! Uh...

[ This should be easy, but what's a fun thing to do without getting both of them into trouble with Master again? Definitely not the pool. Hmm. ]

I got it.

Let's go on a date.

[Her expression turns from pointed anger to something a little more flat. Color rises to her cheeks, but she allows the sunglasses to fall on her nose a little to hide it.]

I am aware you're just trying to appease me, but very well. I've already agreed to give you my time.

[She might also be a little more excited about it than she lets on. Ishtar is a creature of vanity and a tad bit of narcissism. Now that she has fused with this vessel anything similar to it she has a soft spot for. His dark hair and the complexion of his skin is similar to hers. She likes it.]

[ ...

.........

......... Wait...

This isn't how he expected it to go. Partly because Ishtar's so high-maintenance and difficult, but mostly because he's a bundle of self-hate who can't believe that anyone would actually want to hang out with an outlaw like him. And how can they when he can't even want to be himself?

There's a slight pause in the same time it takes him to crush all these feelings at shove them where she can't see them. ]

... Woah, that's a shocker. I thought you'd ask me to turn into Gilgamesh or something.

Don't speak of that awful Goldy with horrid preferences! I don't want to hear his name again!

[She pouts again. Hard.

By the end of Babylonia she mostly got over her lingering feelings for him. Kind of. Honestly she's still holding a grudge from when he rejected her, and the the whole time he bullied her during that singularity. A part of her truly wants him dead, and that's why she sent the Bull of Heaven after him. Ishtar is a dangerous duality full of contradictions.]

Roger that! [ but he says this as he sighs and rubs the back of his neck. He didn't mean to make her pout! This is going to be the longest date ever. ]

But seriously, you don't want me to turn into anyone? No special requests? I don't mind if you're a little perverted, you know.

I gave my time to you, not anyone else!

[Ah, but she has a keen eye. One or two hints may have slipped by her, but at this point his dodgy behavior and his shifting form clue her in.]

Ah, unless you have stage fright? Are you begging me to pick a different visage for you?

Urk!

[ Um, wait. He didn't mean to LET HER READ HIM IN A SECOND. He gives her a dismissive wave! What's this goddess going on about? His ears are definitely not heating up and she is NOT getting the upper hand. ]

Ahh, quit it! If you want me so badly, then that's what you're getting! I'll take it as a compliment.

Mm, it's fine to be bashful. Not everyone can have divine confidence. If you truly wish to change yourself to please me just turn those soft, light eyes to a sharp red.

[Her hand reaches out to brush his cheek. Oh, she does so hope it'll make him squirm.]

[ Wow, is she trying to Liberace him? Not that he minds (sort of?), but that's fucked up.

He's also not comfortable with this situation. Um. Goddesses shouldn't touch him? It's weird. It's different with their Master, because he knows his Master inside and out, but... Servants are another story. He hasn't flinched yet, but he's scared he might. ]

I think you're misunderstanding what doppelgangers are...
